Friday we had our friends over to swim. They had been on vacation for a long time and we missed them. We were in the pool only a short time and it started to rain, hard. E and M stayed in and swam anyway. The rest of us took cover on the porch. When the rain passed we swam again, until the next rain. It's been the craziest summer: rain wise.
Friday night was the release of Harry Potter 7. Actually 12:01 Saturday morning. H and DH and I went downtown for the festivities. It was very fun. We went to both the library and to the bookstore. The library did a fabulous job. They had tons of fun stuff set up. One part of the library was Diagon Ally where they had booths set up to make wands, golden snitches, owls, satchels, dress up and have your picture taken, play games, have a caricature drawn, etc. They had Slytherin house there, with a snake show, and they had one of the older HP movies playing in one room. On the other side they had Hogwarts with a magician and games. H had a great time. At the bookstore we walked around and they had games and stuff. We got a treat downstairs. At midnight we did a countdown and very excitedly got our books! I couldn't' believe it, while we were waiting in line we could watch others getting their books and several people walked away from the line, flipped to the end and started reading while they were walking out! What kind of craziness is that?!
Saturday we cleaned, signed brother up for soccer, went back to the library to get another copy of the book (two for the house wasn't enough), swam, DH I went on a date.

My boys are still talking about swimming in the rain!
K is excited about fall soccer. I hope they have another fun season together.
Glad all the HP hype was fun. We got a poster at Walmart yesterday, they were handing them out free. Otherwise, I'll just wait till the library has a copy free. ;o)
we checked out two from the library and bought one to complete our collection. So far it's really good!
sounds so fun!!! it is like this whole other world going on thi HP mania that i am unaware of (sounds like magic:) when you finish a Libary one i would love to read it let me know
I'm so glad that you had fun. The library sounded like it was going to be a blast!
How fun! This craze is like a new Holiday.
So I have to ask, was it more exciting to read Harry Potter or go on your date with your DH on Saturday??? LOL! :D
Yeah for Harry!
Your library is so fun! I got up at 5:30am and went to Walmart alone to buy our 2 copies!
